2 Claims. (Cl. 206-4519) This invention relates to a display boxparticularly designed for displaying bracelets or the like.

In display boxes of this type it is desirable that there be provided acenter support around which the bracelet may be placed for displayingits outer surface, and it is desirable that this support be placed andheld in the interior of the box with as much ease as possible.

One of the objects of this invention is to provide a construction ofwall support and deck plate that may be easily assembled.

Another object of the invention is to provide a deck plate and wall ofcardboard or of the same material of which the box is made.

More specifically an object of this invention is to provide a displaywall which will snap into recesses provided in the deck plate.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certainnovel features of construction as will be more fully described andparticularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the box in open position;

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the deck plate before the wall orsupport is attached;

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the wall alone;

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken through line 4-4 of the deck plateillustrating the position of the wall when attached;

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on lines 55 of Figure 1 showing themanner in which the notches of the wall engage the deck plate; and

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the deck plate inserted in the boxillustrating the manner in which the wall is assembled with the deckplate.

In proceeding with this invention I provide a body member and a covermember and hinge these two together so that when the cover is closed,the contents of the box is concealed and protected within the box. 1also provide a deck plate which fits into the body of the box and byattaching one end of this tray to the cover member I provide aconstruction so that when the cover is swung from its closed positionthrough substantially 90 degrees, such as by means of a spring hinge,the deck plate will be slightly lifted from within the body member ofthe box to an inclined position with reference to the bottom of the box.I provide a plurality of recesses or slots in the deck plate which mayassume the shape of an elipse and a wall made out of flexible materialwhich is provided with recesses and notches to fit within the recessesof the deck plate.

With reference to the drawings 10 designates the body member and 11 thecover member, the two members being hinged together along one edgethereof by a hinge, not shown. A deck plate 12 conforms generally to theshape or" the body member of the box and has a depending wall 13 andbottom support 14. This deck plate is loosely mounted in the body memberof the box and is fastened to the cover member at its end nearest thehinge connection by any suitable means such as at 15. A score line 22provides a hinge which enables the plate to fold into the body member 10when the cover is closed.

The deck plate is provided with a plurality of slots such as 16 and 17which preferably assume a pseudoelliptical shape. Although I show twoslots, it is to be understood that any number may be provided.

A wall or support 18, preferably made from pliable material, such ascardboard which may be blanked from a flat sheet, is provided withnotches 19 and 20 at the ends thereof and one or more undercut portionssuch as shown at 21. The bottom portion of the wall may be considered ashaving depending portions, or it may be considered that the bottomportion of the wall is provided with recesses such as shown at 21.Assuming the parts to be in the position shown in Figure 6, it will beseen that I attach the wall 18 to the deck plate 12 by inserting firstthe notches 19 and 20 into adjacent ends of slots 16 and 17. The wall 18is then pressed into the recesses 16 and 17 and the undercut portion 21in wall 18 being of dovetail form is snapped over the adjacent ends ofrecesses 16 and 17 which are diametrically opposite those into whichnotches 19 and 20 were placed. If the slots 16 and 17 are cut to be of adimension equal to that of the wall 18, it will be seen that theresulting structure as shown in Figure 1 appears to be constructed ofone integral piece of material.

I claim:

1. Av display comprising a box, a deck plate in said box having twooppositely arcuate slots with their ends spaced and together in theshape of a pseudo-ellipse, a one-piece wall with a notch in its loweredge intermediate its ends and in generally the form of the same shapepseudo-ellipse as said slots with spaced ends and with the lower portionof said Wall extending into said slots along the full length of theslots and with the upper portion along said notch bridging the spacebetween adjacent ends of said slots at one location, the lower portionsof the ends of the wall being notched and receiving in the notches theends of the slot at another location, thereby restricting movement ofthe wall in a direction perpendicularly from said plate.

2. A display box as in claim 1 wherein the wall is constructed ofbendable material and is at substantially a right angle to said deckplate.
